Does a med spa have to register or hold a license in Utah?

Facility · part of The Practice Perimeter

Short answer
The cited rules do not settle this — none impose a med spa facility license; they require the supervisor's name and license to be posted at the cosmetic medical facility, and a professional corporation may render services only through licensed individuals.

Utah puts five posting and disclosure duties on the supervisor, which is a different sentence from putting them on the facility — the statute names who must ensure them. a supervisor performing or supervising a cosmetic medical procedure must ensure their name is prominently posted at the cosmetic medical facility, a copy of their license is displayed on the wall, the patient receives written information naming both the supervisor and the person performing the NONABLATIVE procedure, the patient is given a telephone number answered within 24 HOURS for follow-up, and the facility’s contract with a master esthetician who performs a nonablative procedure there is kept on the premises. Sedation carries named external standards incorporated by reference, and medical records must be kept per applicable law and the AMA Code of Medical Ethics. Whether Utah separately registers a med spa as premises was not surveyed here. The PRICE of the credential is on the Division’s published fee schedule: an esthetician license is $60.00 to apply and $52.00 to renew, a master esthetician $85.00 and $68.00, a basic esthetics permit $60.00 and $52.00, a cosmetology license $60.00 and $52.00, and an esthetician school $110.00 each way. These claims carry practitioner and school fees only; no salon or establishment fee is surveyed.

  • Utah answers the compounded-semaglutide question by exclusion, and the exclusion is the sharpest on this pass. "Compounding" does not include the preparation by a pharmacist or pharmacy intern of any prescription drug in a dosage form which is regularly and commonly available from a manufacturer in quantities and strengths prescribed by a practitioner Semaglutide and tirzepatide are regularly and commonly available from their manufacturers, so preparing them in the marketed dosage form is not compounding in Utah at all — it falls outside the definition rather than inside it on conditions.

  • The supply-chain route is excluded in the same subsection. "Compounding" does not include the preparation of prescription drugs by a pharmacist or pharmacy intern for sale to another pharmacist or pharmaceutical facility — so a pharmacy preparing stock to sell on to a clinic is not compounding either.
